To reduce the tube side pressure drop for the same flow rate, the heat exchanger recommended is _______________?

Correct answer: B. 1-1 heat exchanger

  • A. 1-2 heat exchanger
  • B. 1-1 heat exchanger
  • C. 3-2 heat exchanger
  • D. 2-4 heat exchanger

Explanation

A 1-1 exchanger has only one tube-side pass, so the same flow is distributed through a longer flow area with lower velocity and pressure drop than in multipass arrangements.
